“When you serve others, you are serving God. When you do it for them, you’re doing it for Him. Jesus said, “If you give a cup of cold water to someone in need, you will surely be rewarded.” Every time you serve, God sees it. Every time you help someone else. Every time you sacrifice--you go out of your way to pick up a friend, you get up early to sing in the choir, you stay late to help a coworker--God is keeping the record.”
